Alright I just got off with one who tried to scam me 5 or 6 years ago but although he was unable too scam me because I knew what he was after, I don't know what made him remember me 5 or 6 years later looooooool but he said I was a very nice guy......Anyhow he pretended he was a girl and his name "lady Mary" even though he didn't manage to scam me he managed to scam others and he told me that "More money than I will make in a 1000 years" looool
The thing is he is very kind guy and patient guy, he started when he was 17 because he said he dropped out of school cuz he couldn't pay the tuition, I understand their situations and conditions but anyhow he told me he been to canada, dubai, uk, and other places lol and he actually sent me photos and told me he was married now but the thing is although I feel bad for these people I also feel bad for those who got scammed. I don't know how much he scammed them for but said 6 or 7 canadians.......and he also told me that the people have no choice and that the government is the big scammer, don't know what to do really I feel sad for them but also those who got scammed. What ya'll think?

Yes. It is always the government's fault that they are forced into deception and crime. Never their own choice.
I don't feel sorry for the scammers at all.

Nigeria poor! It is one of the richest countries in the world! The fact that it is corrupt and lawless is also true.

You don't need to lol - just check out Wikipedia - I quote...
'Its reserves make Nigeria the tenth most petroleum-rich nation, and by the far the most affluent in Africa. In mid-2001 its crude oil production was averaging around 2.2 million barrels (350,000 m³) per day.'

I have had an encounter with at least three of them, and you want to know something, I knew who they were and they didn't get squat from me! When I told them that I didn't have any money and I told them that I knew the FBI, they left me the hell alone. I also blocked them and reported them to MySpace and Facebook. If these people think that they can get anything from me, they are either damned determined, or highly stupid because I am flat broke, so they are getting anything from me.

I would never fall for a Nigerian scam, people should not beg you for money over the internet. If you want money they should find ways for them to earning without having to ask other people for it, I would not give anyone money over the internet, if I want to help somoen internationally, I'll donate it to a charity.

So you have been chatting with a lot of people huhh? hehehe just joking. How did you know that he was a guy though? I really feel bad about the people who got scammed too. I just hope you will not trust anybody just like that again ok? Have a great day to you.

hi Libyantiger I do not feel one bit sorry for those Nigerian weasels who bilk unsuspecting people out of money they cannot afford to lose. I see others who are also poor but they do not turn to crime in order to'get the needed money they are without.The poor who are honest manage to' keep up with things without resorting to crime. they make money the honest way by hard work.How can you say he is a kind guy when he scams
good people out of their much needed money? that is not good that is evil. two wrongs will never make a right.

A scammer is a scammer, no matter where he comes from. I don´t like beggars either. I do give money for charities, but I make sure that my money goes where I want it to go.
I work my eyes off for pennies here; I don´t know why I would have to give anyone anything. I work at the freerice site because it belongs to the WFO in the UN. But that´s something else. The United Nations will not take pains to scam ME

Their life is indeed sad. Maybe they think that it's good what they're doing lying to people's faces to earn money. There's one thing they have to believe in and that's karma. There's gonna be a time when it'll hit them so fast they won't even know what it is.

Looks like some would give it up. But yet they try to hook someone and they themself get a big laugh.. these people one or more just keep it up . I told one to send a donation of a small amount to my paypal account and I would know they where sincere? guess what nope they never did..lol yet some think it is funny and say how sick they are not thinking it might really fall back on them. Who in the right mind will send millons to someone they do not know?? I know people are in need right now and alot of them I know and even I at times have it ruff but yet to be dishonest I think not..if you adnor them sometimes they go away but yet sometimes they keep the e-mails in hope you forget and then try to take it again..I had one girl once try to send a donation to help with a need but yet waisted the time to think it out.. she got lost somewhere and felt guilty . It is good to help another but these people just keep on trying. over look them sometimes can be hard but yet safer to overlook..
